All is well - Sharks Truth and Honesty session this morning

[shaggs]

I agree changes are too late. He did the same thing with Moylan. I mentioned this before but if you dropped say a Raimen I am sure you would get a response from him and the group if we are as connected as it seems.

For mine the changes could be small but at least show us something. Try JC at 13 to give us some size. Cam played a role in 2022 off the bench and did alright. End the 2 utility experiment on the bench. Make an example of an offender who repeatedly has let the team down. Something. Anything. We don't need 4 rookies in there.

Wish I was a fly on the wall to hear how it went down.

I just listened to your podcast appearance and couldn’t help but agree with these thoughts.
Start BHU and McInnes comes on at 17 minute mark.
Toby on at 30th to replace JC
Always 2 big boys on
2nd half maybe 10 in McInnes off for Puru.
Then other bench front rower on for AFB at 55th min mark.
Something like that. Stay as big as possible for as long as possible

Just going to throw it out there, but our slide started when we lost Stonestreet.

A perfect illustration of the difference between correlation and causation.

double up

What podcast?

We have let in over 150 points since he went off injured

 

[Frenzy.]

See, I don’t actually think Atkinson deserves it, he’s actually done nothing wrong. He’s doing exactly what’s being asked of him.
The issue is, there shouldn’t be any ask of him whilst ever our 2 halves are fit (and being picked). It’s not Atkos fault he keeps getting picked (and used for 5 mins as a tackler and nothing else). It’s squarely on Fitz for poor team selection and use of subs.

I'll go with this but how do we know that. How do we know they all, apart from ill discipline and errors, aren't playing the game the way they are being asked?

See Since 73 post

I guess what I’m saying is, it would be harsh to tear into Atkinson given he only gets given 5 mins time. The issue isn’t his effort/performance, it’s the fact he shouldn’t be selected in the team in the first place.

I agree the honesty session about Akko should be Fitz with himself. It is insane to play 2 under size locks especially when one is a half.

its more to do with Haselton

 

[Inferno]

I hope the coaching staff also conducted their own honesty session.

 

[Stake Removed]

This is just a PR stunt, we will lose to Melbourne.
Fitz in presser will say they improved on last week and no changes

Considering we have 22 players to pick from, what changes would you make?

This. Stay as big as possible for as long as possible.

I have no interest in McInnes. Leave him out.
As much as I love BuBa . Hynes to FB . I think he needs to see the game from a different position, I don’t care how bad he is.
BB to 7.
Nickora, somthing is wrong, off Feild problems?
I cannot work out Ramien, you just don’t know what guy will turn up.
Bring in Burns and Calhoun, bigger bodies.

That interesting as some on here say he is useless, somthing about sending him to Newcastle.

 

[Stake Removed]

In 24 hours we will know whether Fitz chat work.
It's clear it has if we win, if we lose it hasn't, but I can't wait to see those who say they played better just had some bad luck and Melbourne is a decent team

 

[R-15-3]

If Atkinson plays I want Big Nelson to absolutely steam roll him for match winning try.

I am sure if that's the case Atko will be defended next to Cam

Most surprisingly, I saw Atkinson at Miranda recently and he is much bigger than I expected - I don’t know if that plays a part in their thinking?

 

[Since 73]

You were lucky to see him.
He wouldve only been in and out in 5 mins
